FLW PRESS RELEASE
Quaker State pro Scott "Hammerbury" Canterbury used
to be able to tell stories about Walmart FLW Tour events that he almost won,
could have won or should have won.

In his rookie season in 2008 there was Lewis Smith Lake where he
finished runner-up by a pound and a half.
In 2012, another pound and a half deficit cost him a win at
Beaver Lake.
At Toho in 2015 he missed winning by 11 ounces.
But perhaps none of his close calls were more painful than the
2014 Forrest Wood Cup where he missed a $500,000 payday by a single ounce. The
fishing world could only watch in dismay as video footage showed Canterbury
having the winning fish hooked and it coming off halfway to the boat.
For nine years as a pro angler, Canterbury’s career has been
littered with crushing close calls and heartbreaking bass.
Today, Canterbury can shelve all those stories; he won’t need
them anymore. Today, Scott Canterbury became an FLW Tour winner at the Walmart
FLW Tour event presented by Jack Link’s on Beaver Lake.
By checking in limits weighing 12-14, 18-3, 14-6 and 17-0,
Canterbury won with a four-day total of 62 pounds, 7 ounces. In the end, he
beat runner-up Darrel Robertson by 1 pound, 3 ounces.
